HNT - Darth Tater Unmasked

I thought I'd try something a bit different for this week's HNT, and start a bit of a story in pictures starring my newest little friend, Darth Tater.

Spud Wars - A New Hopelessness

Not all that long ago, on a Thursday not so far from today, Darth moved into Chateau Leslie. Things had been going quite nicely until Mark attempted to clean Darth's mask. It popped off, and Mark got a startling peek at the face beneath.

Spud Tater Unmasked!

As if seeing the face of Darth Tater wasn't enough, Darth made a revelation that was even more shocking. "Mark, your supper last night was MY FATHER!"

"Mark, you ate my father!"

The terrible truth was almost too much. Upon seeing the horrible face beneath the mask and with Darth's father (who had been a nice plate of fries smothered in gravy) still digesting in his stomach, Mark fainted. Darth jumped into attack mode, fully intending to avenge his father's needless consumption.

Revenge of the Spud-Eye!

Will Mark be able to get out of this predicament? Will Darth enact his revenge? If Darth is really a potato, why doesn't he have more sets of eyes? Does anybody actually really care about any of this?

First time visit to your site (found you through BS) and what a day to visit! Too funny! I am going to go around thinking "cue hissing voice" Mark you ate my father! all day....can't wait to read more and catch up on what I have missed!
